Natural skin care cleanser recipes do not typically include foaming agents. Add a bit of all natural skin cleanser to your concoction.

Most ingredients can be found in your cupboard, online or local health food store and are relatively cheap. Opt to buy powders, extracts and oils instead of actual fruit and veggies. Their shelf life is much longer and the cost is kept down

You can make ahead if stored properly. Read ingredient labels on shelf life. Even better, make just before you cleanse. The simple recipes we have below only take less than a minute or two.

When using essential oils in your blends, please read all the precautions. If used improperly, these oils can be very dangerous.

Just because a cleanser doesn't foam, does not mean it isn't working! Surfactants are added to cleansers for the rich lather we all have come accustomed to. However they can be really harsh on skin. If you've ever used a high end cleanser with natural ingredients you'll notice they do not lather very much. So skip the lather and you'll still have clean, supple healthy skin!
